Chapter 479: Radiation protection food

Du Xianyu laughed: "Vegetables that are irrigated with dung water are called organic vegetables and are expensive.
If we go to the moon, we will eat organic food every day. What else is disgusting.
Besides, before industrialization, the only chemical fertilizer for food grown was manure water.
What watering is not important, the key is the safety and taste of the food.
As long as people don't know the specific situation, they will eat very sweet. "
"I just said casually, thinking too much is absolutely unnecessary.
Even hydrogenated vegetable oil, which is classified as a harmful food by the World Health Organization, is selling very hot.
Food safety is the most important now, and safe food should be known on the moon.
What types of food are there on the moon? Li Hao asked Director Du Xianyu.
"Mr. Li, we have all shipped the plant to the lunar base as a whole. Didn't you know him in detail?
It is after they are assembled that they form a microbial system. Maintains a simple material cycle for the lunar base. Du Xianyu asked in amazement.
"I don't really understand this. I only know that there is a plantation plant.
Has its seed been planted. I remember just using the last few plants, and the shipping list had no seeds. Li Hao asked curiously.
While he was talking, he let the glasses open a virtual light curtain and began to inspect the plantation plant on the lunar base.
Li Hao saw that the entire planting plant was divided into two parts, one was a food growing area, and the other was a non-food growing area.
He first set his sights on the food growing area, where there are two kinds of plants.
They are not planted in the soil, but are grown directly by hydroponics.
Li Hao was also very puzzled. How could there be so many plants in the plant?
He remembered that only a few plants came to the lunar base when transporting supplies a few days ago.
He was too busy at that time without careful understanding. He thought it was a simple experiment.
Knowing that when he saw the seedling workshop, Li Hao realized that these plants did not start growing from seeds.
It is using plant stem cells to start bred plantlets in special culture dishes.
Later, the seedlings were transplanted to the hydroponic workshop, and the entire process was fully automated.
Plant stem cells, which are cells obtained from mature plant leaves. Obtained after induced degradation.
This technology is very mature on the earth, and large industrial plant production companies are using this technology to cultivate seedlings.
It didn't catch Li Hao's attention. What surprised Li Hao was the two forms of planting.
They were all plants that Li Hao saw for the first time, which should be just cultivated by the biological laboratory.
One plant is a low bush with walnut-sized off-white fruit.
The number of such fruits is very large, almost covering the entire crown.
Another plant, like bamboo, is shorter than bamboo and has thicker stems.
Seeing the plant that Li Hao was watching, Du Xianyu explained to him: "This is carefully selected by our biological laboratory and is very suitable for the space environment on the moon.
They are grey rice trees and round stem vegetables. "
After hearing this, Li Hao nodded with satisfaction and continued to observe the details of the plant.
In addition to water and fertilizer for plant growth, it also needs to provide a proper amount of light and a suitable temperature.
There are also vital plant hormones that regulate the process of plant growth.
There is no dense atmosphere on the moon, and its rotation speed is almost the same as its revolution speed.
The time of light is short, and the hot sun shines on the plants. High-intensity sunlight will directly kill plants.
These plants use artificial light sources, they are planted in the factory's sealed workshop, and various environmental factors they need are directly controlled by the machine.
After looking at the plant factory, Li Hao turned to Du Xianyu and asked, "How about the growth cycle of the plants produced by the plant factory? How many people can share it?"
Du Xianyu didn't think much and immediately replied: "General Manager Li, the total area of ​​gray rice tree planting is 12,000 square meters, and the plant is divided into multiple layers.
The gray rice tree ripens once a month, and its yield is enough to bear 1,000 people dining a month.
Its nutrients are very balanced and contain a certain amount of starch, dietary fiber, unsaturated fatty acids, and trace elements.
People who eat only gray rice will not experience any malnutrition.
Round stem vegetables are ripe for half a month, with a total planting area of ​​28,000 square meters. It is also a monthly output that can cater for 1,000 people.
The taste on different stem nodes is completely different, the taste is very varied and nutritious, and it can be matched with any ingredients.
The leaves are tender, delicious and juicy. It is very good vegetables. "
Li Hao heard Director Du Xianyu introduce these vegetables, he almost drooled, looking forward to the taste of these foods.
"I see that the branches of the gray rice tree and the cabbage are very thick, and the gravity of the moon is very small. Why are they designed to adopt this solution?" Li Hao observed these two plants carefully, he asked in confusion. .
These plants were screened in a biological laboratory, and all details were created by scientists writing genetic codes and then expressing them through genes.
Artificially made plants have more concise genes.
Every detail should have its effect, and never useless genes are written on its chromosomes.
When Du Xianyu heard Li Hao's question, he immediately explained: "General Li, you know that there is a high-energy directional magnetic field on the moon to defend the high-energy particles of the universe.
But it also cannot completely prevent the entry of high-energy particles.
Some of these high-energy particles are absorbed by plants. Stored in its cells.
These eroded cells are all radioactive.
Due to the enrichment of food, if such cells are eaten. High-energy particles will exist in the body in large numbers, and eventually lead to human cell disease.
Our solution is to destroy these cells.
The plant's immune cells have been specifically reprogrammed. When they find these high-energy cells, they will directly engulf them.
The immune cells then ran into a special sac and began to kill the cells that had been irradiated. Does not affect the food we eat.
The plant has a wall barrier ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Few high-energy particles pass through. This method has little effect on the whole plant and is very effective.
I can guarantee that the plants produced by our company's lunar base do not contain radiation. It is a veritable plant for radiation protection. "
Li Hao heard Director Du say this, he secretly relieved.
Food safety is of paramount importance at all times.
Especially on the moon, medical conditions are not comparable to the earth.
It is to reduce the possible morbidity to reduce the mortality of the moon dwellers.
This radiation-protection plant is not only used on the moon.
When the big development of the aerospace era has really taken place, mankind will embark on a spacecraft to sail.
This plant can be grown in a spacecraft. It can greatly enhance the confidence of astronauts in spacecraft.
